Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

Location

Campion School at a glance

Located in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Campion School is a secondary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 1,236 pupils aged 11 to 18. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 44.5, broadly in line with the national average of 46. That marks an improvement of 1.3 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

38% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 63% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. 99% of the families who made Campion School their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 1.80 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. After Year 11, 90% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 12.8%. There are about 18.9 pupils per teacher. Campion School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
